The Miami Marlins are six games into an eight-game losing streak when Kim Ng, the club’s general manager, speaks with Guardian. Despite the slump, Ng doesn’t place too much focus on the team’s recent play ahead of Major League Baseball’s 1 August trade deadline.
“It’s hard to take six games out of 162 and make that the ‘flag’ of your season,” she says. “I choose not to deal with that in an emotional way. At the end of the day, your record is your record – whether we got those losses at the beginning or whether we got them now – I think you shouldn’t let it feed into how you treat the trading deadline.”
